In the summer of life, <br />By chance we first met. <br />The day I can't remember, <br />The feeling I can't forget. <br /> <br />My heart soon melted, <br />Then appeared in my throat. <br />A young lad, deeply in love, <br />At the time, didn't even know. <br /> <br />Music and laughter, <br />Visions and dreams. <br />Rocking on the frontporch, <br />Facing landscapes of bright green. <br /> <br />How much I loved her! <br />Never really telling her how deep. <br />Together we'd laugh, together we'd weep, <br />Abide in a love, and friendship so deep. <br /> <br />On a warm, summer's day, <br />My true love was sent. <br />A winter's chill filled my spirit, <br />As homeward, she went.<br /><br />Barry A.
